The LandAid SleepOut 2025 will take place on Thursday 27 February 2025

Registration will be open between 19:00 - 20:00, please ensure you arrive in this window

Kit List for the SleepOut:

• Sleeping bag – a cold weather sleeping bag
• A pillow
• Thermals – layers, layers, layers!
• Your warmest coat
• Comfortable clothing –  you’ll be spending a lot of time of the floor. Think joggers rather than skinny jeans!
• Wooly/warm hat and gloves (particularly if you have opted to plant a tree instead of receiving merch)
• Scarf
• Thick socks
• An eye mask
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• A torch – it will be dark during the night
• A fully-charged phone
• A power bank – unfortunately, we won't have power sockets available on the night for phone charging, so please bring a battery pack if you have one
• Any medications that you take regularly or may need
• A reusable drinks cup - we can all do our bit for the planet

All of the venues are outside/open to the elements. As we know from the evidence to date, being outside is considerably safer than inside.

There will be plenty of space to social distance throughout the event.

SleepOut 2025 will incur a registration fee of £35 per adult and £30 per adult taking part in SleepOut at Home. 

Charging a registration fee helps ensure 100% of your fundraising goes directly to supporting young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

No. However, it will give you a small insight into what the young people we support face each and every night.

Young people don’t have the choice to move inside if the weather is wet and as such we’d like you to remain outside wherever possible, providing you’re not putting your health at risk. Top tips for staying dry are using cardboard, sleeping close to buildings to get some shelter and waterproof sleeping bags.

All our venues are exposed to the elements, but overhead cover will be present in each location. 

Yes absolutely. Whether they’re your housemates or your family we’d love to have them involved. You can take part virtually via SleepOut At Home, or feel free to bring them along to the event if they're aged 18 or over. Just make sure they're all registered in advance! 

As much as we love four legged friends, this event is for humans only (sorry!) 

(Assistance and guide dogs are of course allowed, please let us know ahead of the event at sleepout@landaid.org so we can make any necessary adjustments)

The minimum fundraising target is £206 per person. This could help fund a safe place for a young person for six weeks. Find out more about the cost of funding a safe place to sleep here.

The deadline for fundraising is the end of March 2025.

We recommend taking lots of photos throughout the LandAid SleepOut to share with your donors during and after the SleepOut. You could even record a series of videos to create a vlog or a reel to share on your social media 

Be sure to tag #LandAidSleepOut so we can reshare and help you spread the word!

Once you register on the website, you will automatically receive a personal fundraising page. Team captains will create Team pages.

Registration for our 2025 event will close at 12:00 on Monday 24 February

Due to the nature of the event, we can welcome over 18s only at our in-person SleepOut Events. 

SleepOut at Home is suitable for families including children.

Toilet facilities with handwashing facilities (either running water or antibacterial hand gel) will be available at all our events.

Of course! We would love to welcome you whether in one of our 8 locations, or by joining us for 'SleepOut at Home' - you can find out more here [SLEEPOUT AT HOME LINK]

Until now, we have provided marchandise to every event participant. With many people joining us year on year, we wanted to offer an alternative.

We have partnered with Trees Not Tees allowing us as event organisers to offer you as participants the choice to plant a tree OR receive branded merchandise (hats and gloves).

Many thanks to our Headline Sponsors, Knight Frank for working with us to make our event as sustainable as possible.

Yes absolutely! You can join or create a team when registering. You’ll see that we have leaderboards for different locations, where you can compete as a team (and individually) against other organisations taking part in SleepOut.

Yes absolutely! If you would like to create or join a team, you have an opportunity during event registration. Alternatively, get in touch with us ahead of the event and we can do this for you, and any queries please get in touch. 

Yes please. We ask that a team attends the same location, but you are very welcome to create multiple teams to sleep out within different regions. 

There will be interactive moments on the night to bring everyone together.
